Welcome to my Today I'm featuring 元, beginning.

I remember this kanji because it reminds me of 先(sen), as in 先生(sensei), referring to "one who came before". 元 is younger and more energetic, like they were when they were young.

また明日!

こんいちにゃ! My for today is 作, make/build.

This kanji is composed of 亻, the person radical, and 乍, which looks like a saw. So, a person using a saw to make something is a good way to remember this kanji. ^_^

Until tomorrow, また明日!

Good afternyan! My for today is 算, calculate!

Components: 竹(bamboo) and 具(tool). Given one of the meanings is "abacus", the way I remember this is a hand holding an abacus while the fingers of the other hand flip the beads.

にゃりがとう!

Good afternyan and welcome to my featuring 理, logic!

Think of this as the process or arrangement of logic - so you have to carefully shape it. So 王 is shaped with the 里.

Fun fact, this kanji originally referred to processing jade.

またにゃ!

Good evenyan! Today's is 才! It means genius or talented.

This one is pretty straightforward, only three strokes, so it was tough for me to come up with a mnemonic. But you can remember it as someone moving gracefully.

Thanks for stopping by!

Good evenyan and here's my 知, (to) know!

I came up with a good way to remember this and I'm happy to share it!

The components are 矢, arrow, and 口, mouth. So, speaking wisdom is like shooting arrows from your mouth. ^_^

Thanks and また明日!

Good afternyan! My for today is 考, consider!

It was a bit challenging to come up with a mnemonic for this kanji, but you know the "Thinker" statue? The pose is strikingly similar to the shape of this kanji. So there you have it!

またあした!

Good evenyan and welcome to my for today: 思, think.

How I symbolize this is 田 (rice field) and 心, heart/mind. You have to use your head and think to plan out a rice field so it grows well.

See you tomorrow! にゃりがとう!

Good afternyan and welcome to my Today is 晴, clear skies!

The symbolism of this kanji is just about perfect in my opinion - the sun 日 paired with blue 青. I can't help but feel cheered up by it (especially given the last couple weeks). ^_^

Good afternyan! This is on 教, teach!

This one is a little complicated, so here's how you can remember it. You have a child respectfully learning 孝, next to a teacher ready to deflect mistakes 攵.

And there you have it. にゃりがとう、またにゃ!

And here's my latest 工, meaning craft!

This looks like one of those big wooden cablespools to me; my mom painted and decorated them and then made stuff on them, so it stuck in my head really well.

I hope that helps you remember too! また明日!

Good evenyan and here's today's 図, meaning map.

X marks the spot! ^_^

I also didn't realize that this was in one of my favorite words, library.

Thanks for stopping by, or as I like to say, にゃりがとう!

Until tomorrow, またあした!

Good evenyan! My today is 絵, picture/sketch!

Like 紙(paper) before it this uses 糸(thread), and the other part is 会(meet). It's implied that the thread is colored so you end up with a picture when you put the silk together. ^_^

またあした!

Good evenyan, and here's my for today! 画, meaning picture! It also means brush-stroke.

It looks like a brush being dipped into an inkwell for me, so that's how I remember it. That's what matters - how you remember it. ^_^

Thanks for visiting!

Good evenyan and here's my latest Today is 紙, paper!

I have an easier time remembering this because the part on the right looks like a sheet of paper. It also uses 糸(thread) because you could use thread to make paper.

にゃりがとう、またにゃ!

ようこそ! Today's is 記, narrative!

This originally referred to scribing, but it's more commonly used for writing down a narrative or account now.

You can remember it since it has 言(speech) and 己(self) in it, so self-speech.

またあした!

ようこそ! Today's is 書, write!

This one's a little hard for me to remember. But it turns out that 聿 originally meant brush, and Japanese writing was traditionally done with brushes, so there you go!

またあした!

Good afternyan! My for today is 読, read! As in my favorite activity! ^_^

This kanji is made up of 言(speak/word) and 売(sell), so you can think of this as someone selling their words - especially since reading was often done out loud.

またにゃ!

Good afternyan, and here's my daily 語, language!

This kanji includes 五 (5) in it, which can be pronounced as ご like this kanji. It serves as a fine memory aid.

Also, I really like the word 物語, monogatari, since it means "tale". =^_^=

ようこそ (welcome) to my Today I'm covering 聞, hear/listen.

It includes 門(gate) and 耳(ear), so I remember it as "you listen through the gate with your ears".

Also, this kanji originally meant to 'news' which is why it's in 新聞, newspaper.
